May 17, 2025 - The new FP-30X improves on most of the shortcomings of its predecessor and deserves to continue its legacy as one of the best portable digital pianos under $1000 on the market. ... The price jump might seem crazy, so I’d like to open up this section by noting that not everyone needs a $2,000 digital piano. Most people at the advanced level prefer stage pianos, workstations or synthesizers. These keyboards favor sound designers wanting deep control of their sound.

r/piano on Reddit: What is the best digital piano/keyboard I should buy (budget 1k)
May 10, 2024 -

So lately I have gotten invested in pianos and I would like to know what is for YOU the best digital piano/keyboard. I don't have a lot of space in my room so I can't buy the wooden pianos (and they would be a little heavy to move!). SO I have been wondering what was YOUR best/ or what is your best digital piano/keyboard you had? You can recommend any video, review or your own best digital piano/keyboards you had. I would love to hear your suggestions. I know the budget says 1k but if you know one that is a little pricier I won't mind... (Same for the cheaper one!). I know I should probably look at the "there are no stupid questions" post... but I really want to know your suggestions and experiences with those keyboards/digital pianos... (also an 88 key piano would be nice because I won't run into problems with any kind of score that exists.... I think...)

Thanks in advance.

(PS: I wouldn't mind a link to a website that sells them)

r/keys on Reddit: Best real piano like "feeling" keyboard for $1000 or below?
May 3, 2022 -

I am looking for a keyboard either a console or slab style keyboard that feels the most real to an acoustic piano. In terms of action, weighted keys, polyphony, feeling potential for, dynamics. etc... The price I mentioned above is pretty much my budget I just want something that performs really well in terms of action. So that I can also slap on a VST on it to make it sound nicer. So I don't really care too much about sound quality from the keyboard itself. Any suggestions or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, my stepdad is looking for a piano for my mom for her birthday. She hasn’t played in years, probably honestly more than 15 years, but has been talking about wanting to play again. What’s a good keyboard for under $1500 or under $1000 for her? She doesn’t need portability. This would be an in-home piano for the occasional hobbyist player. But we do want to get her something nice.

r/piano on Reddit: Digital piano in price range 750-1000$ with the best keys (coming from an acoustic piano)
July 10, 2022 -

I want to make a gift to my mother, she is a piano teacher and there are some moments where a piano at home would really help, especially when you have students and easy access to it at home. We didn't especially get an acoustic one since the room it's gonna stay in, it would be bad for the wood, plus the fact that you can wear headphones and not disturb the neighbors and such.

The main thing that I'm looking for are the keys, their action and their feel. I currently have a Kawai ES110 which I absolutely love, I think the sound is the best in this price range (with headphones of course). The problem is that coming from an acoustic piano to this one, the keys are quite different. First of all they're a lot easier to play because of the action, and second, they're pretty slippery because of the material. That's why I want something as close as the acoustic keys in the price range. The sound does not matter since I can always get a VST with headphones for her that'll fix that problem.

When I was searching 2 years ago for a piano for myself, I remember that everyone said the Roland FP-10 and FP-30 had the best keys (ivory feel and and the best action in this price range). And that's what I want to go for. I'll take her to the piano shop and let her try the FP-30.

Question for you guys tho, there's no better option in terms of key quality in this price range right? Or let's say I set the price range up to about 1250$, would there be an option that'll be dramatically better? Again, I don't care about features (except MIDI and Headphones), the keys are the most important.

Thanks in advance.
